WAIT OMGOMG IS THIS THE SAME ELLEN FROM GOOD IDEA?????????
edit: and pls how do you get DE7? i got all six dead ends and nothing changed and i can't do anything else, i even redid them all in order and still nothing happened-
Oh I just noticed ur edit!! >.< I'm sry to hear that, but you don't seem to be the only one with that problem... I still couldn't figure out why this seems to happen;;
Do you play on mobile or on your PC? Also which Browser do you use?
I just played the prequel yesterday, so of course I had to follow up with where it started!I am SO intrigued with these characters, they are really interesting!! I would love to see even more games in this universe. :3 Thank you for the game!
Thank you for playing!! I enjoyed watching your LP 💖
Your reaction to the true end was great haha (I also really liked that you called the toxicity of their relationship out... I haven't seen a lot of LPs doing that x'D)
I'm super happy to hear that you're invested in the characters 🥺💖 There will def be more games... I have some stuff planned for them^^
Thank you for watching~! I really feel like it's important to comment on relationships that aren't really that healthy because so many people are young or might not make those connections themselves, and just calling attention to it can start a conversation about.. hey, that probably isn't ok. Which can help connect the dots naturally in their own lives when faced with similar concepts. P: Not that androids will try and murder them but you know, sometimes we form those very toxic relationships ourselves through accident or whatever on smaller scales.
I am SO happy to hear you plan to make more games and content with them!! T_T They are soooo interesting and I'm super excited!! <3 I can't wait!
I didn't, but I also just downloaded the Windows file and it starts off differently. There's none of the dialogue before she leaves her room in the web version.
Since I've just finished the game (and I might've not processed it) but I just wanted some clarity if Olivia is able to leave the "experiment area" (the 3 rooms-bedroom, hallway. and office-) or if they're is no actual exit to where they're held
I started Playing the one with the Streamer (forgive me I just woke up and saw that you replied) and I really like it! It's super cute and the characters are just- *Mwah!* Chef's kiss!
Great game. I initially thought this will be a crude game inspired by flash games like 5 minutes to kill yourself or beat your boss but then I got to the last two endings and I gotta say...it was way more than what I expected! A truly unique experience.
Thank you!! I'm a sucker for Good Endings, so I just had to give this game a sweeter ending as True End >v< (Tho that's not difficult compared to all the other Dead Ends haha)
This was a pretty cool! The art is unique and looks appealing and while a simple concept, is still pretty fun. It's really cool to see something like this made in such a short amount of time, even if it's in RPGMaker.
It'd be cool to see more games with this kinda style. Hand-drawn art and RPGMaker is an awesome combo. Good job!
I'm glad that you think so :3 I'm super happy that you liked the art and the concept!! I also love it when RPG Maker games have this hand-drawn feel to it ^^
I don't want to be rude, and this is a good game stylistically and is very well written. However, spiritually it was one of the worse experiences in media I've seen recently. The entire game is about killing an innocent person in a multitude of ways, done by a malicious and malignant main character with no regards for other peoples' feelings or inner worlds. The [SPOILER] ending reveal feels almost tacked on, designed to excuse the actions of the main character through her victim just saying "whether you abuse me or are nice to me I'm still happy" and downplaying the horrible decisions you as a game designer made the player undertake.
It is a beautiful game with a great artstyle, the writing is on point, you physically feel repulsed by the actions Ellen performs in no small part because of your outstanding work.
Developer, if you're reading this, would really just like to ask you, what personal experiences influenced your decision to make this game? This is not a rhetorical question, this game was an experience and I will be thankful for any additional context.
At first thanks for your review^^ I'm glad that there were at least some parts of the game you enjoyed!
(Spoilers up ahead)
Tbh I wouldn't say that Olivia's completely innocent since she did play into Ellen's murderous tendencies. She's def still a victim though, even if she herself doesn't see it that way.
Moreover, Ellen isn't supposed to be a likeable protag. I wrote the dead ends as brutally as I could so that you as a player would feel bad for Olivia.
As for the ending feeling tacked on... I had a deadline for this game, so the overall ending is rushed. But one of the things I wanted to convey was Ellen's guilt after realizing that there's more to Olivia than a "prop" in a timeloop. (as a contrast to her brutal ways)
Also, I kinda had the idea for this game ever since high school, I suppose? Though one of the inspirations were the "Whack your Boss"-games.
The timeloop-plot was added, because I recently started my first job when I made that game. So I put some of my frustrations in the game haha
I hope my answer gave you a better insight into why I designed the game this way^^
Thank you very much for your insight, it was indeed helpful! All in all, your game gave me a lot to think about, which is the best I can wish for in art. Wish you the very best on the success of this game and your future endeavours!
Jk, I think you mean the sketchy look right? I used a pen in Medibang Paint Pro called "Rough Brush". It adds this sketchy looking flair to all my drawings, so I really like using it :3

this game was amazing, the plot twist had me literally sitting there with my mouth open in shock
I'm happy I could surprise you >:3cc
Thank u for playing hehe^^
WAIT OMGOMG IS THIS THE SAME ELLEN FROM GOOD IDEA?????????
edit: and pls how do you get DE7? i got all six dead ends and nothing changed and i can't do anything else, i even redid them all in order and still nothing happened-
Ellen was mentioned in one line in Good Idea, yeah x'D
Oh I just noticed ur edit!! >.< I'm sry to hear that, but you don't seem to be the only one with that problem... I still couldn't figure out why this seems to happen;;
Do you play on mobile or on your PC? Also which Browser do you use?
i play on pc and i use google chrome-- (edit - i also like the death where you slam her head into the shelf the most)
that waS crazy ending! :)
I just played the prequel yesterday, so of course I had to follow up with where it started!I am SO intrigued with these characters, they are really interesting!! I would love to see even more games in this universe. :3 Thank you for the game!

I just finished the game and it was an amazing experience. I really loved the art and the music! The narration was also great, good job Kathinka!
Thank you so much!! I'm super happy to hear that you enjoyed my game 💖💖 (Especially the narration since that's not my strong point haha)
Hey is the web version unfinished? I did everything and could not get Dead End 7.
Strange... I just replayed it and everything worked for me? The web-version is definitely finished!
You should be able to get DE 7 after getting DE 1-6 beforehand
I didn't, but I also just downloaded the Windows file and it starts off differently. There's none of the dialogue before she leaves her room in the web version.
Very strange indeed >.< I'm happy to hear that the Windows file worked for you, so the problem seems to be with the browser version...
Did you play on mobile or on your PC? Also which Browser did you use? :oc
PC and Firefox is what I used
This was a surreal and adorable experience! :)
Hehe thank you :3
How do i get DE 7? I already downloaded the pdf but i cant figure it out
Get all the other endings (DE 1-6)! DE 7 unlocks automatically in the office^^
this was a lovely game, the story was amazing and the part was so pretty!
damn this game made me feel something.
Wonderful UvU
just played through this entire game.
Genuinely a beautiful experience. I love women who reconcile death through a time loop and travel the world in a lovely gay way.
thank you for making this game.
Thank you sm for your comment! I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed this game <3
Also, the way you said that made it sound like a trope.... Do you maybe have any recommendations?? 👀👀
the only other game that I’m aware of that follows this dynamic similarly is “Bad End Theater”. I hope that you enjoy it!
again thank you for making this.
i'm not the original commenter, but i can recommend "her tears were my light", which follows a similar dynamic and is an amazing game in general <3 !!
i did not expect tht at all THT WAS WONDERFUL :00
Omg thank you so much!!!! I'm happy you liked it 💖💖
Thank you so much!! i'm also pretty happy with how I implemented the timeloop mechanic -wise UvU
There is a sequel planned with a similar plot planned, but the girlies from this game won't be super important :'))
why does the windows version not work for me :-'D
Oh why? :oc At what part doesn't it work?
the game just wouldn't open , i'd double click but nothing would happen :-'DD i ended up playing the game thru browser instead tho so its all good :D
Since I've just finished the game (and I might've not processed it) but I just wanted some clarity if Olivia is able to leave the "experiment area" (the 3 rooms-bedroom, hallway. and office-) or if they're is no actual exit to where they're held
The hallway has another exit that Ellen cannot see. So they are actually able to exit the building ^^
So like a hidden door, but I suppose it also explains how Olivia is able to clean up the office without leaving a pile of trash.
But since the office is on the third floor, does that mean the building used for the experiment was abandoned prior to the experiment
Yes! There were also some other thing going on in this building, but now it's been pretty much abandoned ^^
Where is it?
It's not in the game
oh OK, great game though :)
Thanks :3
Can we all apprieciate the dev commenting on older projects
I live in the comment section of all my projects<33

I love this honestly, great concept and execution. Pretty fun!

Interesting concept for a game. It would be cool to expand on this idea.
Great artwork too
The vibes are immaculate. True ending is the kind of thing I LOVE seeing in games.
Hehe, same!! (That's why I added it)
i need to give it a 9 /10, it has a short but nice story, its well made for being a browser game and after all, i like the black and white theme
Such a high rating, thanks! :D I'm happy you enjoyed it^^
Great game. I initially thought this will be a crude game inspired by flash games like 5 minutes to kill yourself or beat your boss but then I got to the last two endings and I gotta say...it was way more than what I expected! A truly unique experience.
Thank you!! I'm glad you liked it!
It was a bit inspired by Beat Your Boss if I'm being honest x'D
But I also prefer games, that have a story to tell, so I added that here as well :3
Incredible game! It was a unique experiencie for me. Thanks for making it!
How sweet!!! Thanks for playing!!
that was... something alright. fun though
Made an account just to comment on how much I love this game!
How sweet!! >v< Thank you for telling me!!
Loved it =)
Pretty dang creepy but cute. I feel a mix of discomfort and sweetness after getting every end. Also the artstyle is pretty great!
Thank you! Creepy but Cute sounds perfect for this game UvU
This was a lot sweeter than I thought it was going to be. Great work! The art style is unbelievably gorgeous and it was a super fun premise.
Thank you!! I'm a sucker for Good Endings, so I just had to give this game a sweeter ending as True End >v< (Tho that's not difficult compared to all the other Dead Ends haha)
so we have two lesbian robots
works for me
Замечательная игра

Omigosh this is so cute? How did you accomplish the hand drawn feel for the backgrounds?
By drawing them by hand? x'D
Jk, I think you mean the sketchy look right? I used a pen in Medibang Paint Pro called "Rough Brush". It adds this sketchy looking flair to all my drawings, so I really like using it :3
And thank youu <33
